Little Snake has got that ethereal-visceral ambience that almost always manages to kill my audio system!!
Kudos to this great production.
In what Little Snake describes as “truly a full circle moment”, Brainfeeder releases his collaboration with the visionary Brazilian electronic composer Amon Tobin: ‘Loophole’.
Little Snake:
“‘Loophole’ – to me – is the embodiment of a portal in which transfiguration occurs. A transfiguration in which we return to a heartspace beyond all delusions within this 3D hologram and return to a state of peace in which we truly know. We know and embody truth beyond our physical minds comprehension and temporary emotions. It takes us to a place where fear and love no longer hold any power and control over us, and instead brings us to a place of complete freedom to truly exist. I would like to extend a huge thanks to one of my all time greatest inspirations – Amon Tobin – for writing this alongside me. It is truly a full circle moment for me.”
Amon Tobin:
"Little Snake approaches music with a reckless abandon that gives me hope for a new generation of producers."
Little Snake (real name Gino Serpentini) resides in Calgary, Alberta. His music deconstructs dancefloor norms and subverts traditional structures, balancing intricacy with explosive bass weight. His tracks have become a staple in Flying Lotus’s DJ sets who signed him to his label Brainfeeder in 2018, describing his productions as “fkn insane”. He has released 3 EPs on the label: “YATDC” (2020), “LOST IN SPIRALS” (2019) that was informed by math rock, textural noise, acid techno and jungle; and “ENTER” (2018) which was inspired by the Gaspar Noé film Enter The Void.
Amon Tobin’s life and work in electronic music has produced some of the most important, era-defining records of his time and has helped to shape much of what has come since. Amon spent eight years developing a series of works under different aliases, alongside the material under his own name. These are now gradually being unveiled on the Nomark label.

Tout oppose en apparence Fear in a Handful of Dust et Long Stories, le premier étant placé sous le signe du conflit, de la dualité — qui était annoncée dès la pochette et confirmée par le choc entre les notes erratiques et l'ambiant calme — tandis que le second est une collection de berceuses contées avec de l'IDM ambiant. Mais en réalité, ces deux opus se rejoignent car, dans les deux cas, Amon Tobin veut créer un pur moment d'harmonie et surtout une harmonie fabriquées avec ce qui est cassé... Jordan Vauvert
